“On the other side of me, which I couldn’t see, was Nathan, Fyfey, so a bit of a collision, head on. I guess you can probably tell who came out worse in that scenario. I don’t think he had a scratch on him but I was on the ground for a little bit. I’m getting back (now).

“I think he popped up straight away anyway so I think he was trying to nurse me and see if I was all right but it’s going to be pretty hard to knock down Nathan and keep him down.”

Cerra played in a scratch match for Peel last weekend, but appears unlikely to debut against Port Adelaide in a fortnight.

But the No.5 pick in the national draft and classy midfielder is expected to be seen sooner rather than later at the top level.

Coach Ross Lyon said today fellow first years Banfield and No.2 pick Andrew Brayshaw were right in the mix to play against the Power.

But a well-spoken Brayshaw was taking nothing for granted this morning.

“That would be great,” he said. “All summer you work hard and try and get a round one spot. At the end of the day, if that doesn’t happen, I’ll got to the WAFL, I’ll work hard and we’ve got a really good side running out on the weekend and a lot of boys knocking the door down to try and get games.”

The Victorian, who admitted to picking up a corkie in Sunday’s 62-point JLT Community Series win over West Coast, has lived with Fyfe and Lachie Neale since joining the Dockers and said he had learnt plenty from both midfield stars.

“It’s been a massive change from under 18s footy,” Brayshaw said. “The transition is probably the biggest thing I’ve noticed moving up into the next level. I’ve been caught out a few times but I guess that’s part of it. There’s definitely a lot more harder knocks. I’ve come off this game just on the weekend with a sore leg, I got a big corkie. I guess that’s part of it, you crack in hard and you try and win the footy.”
